Publisher's Synopsis
As the title suggests Allan and the Holy Flower is an Allan Quatermaine story. Brother John, who has been wandering in Africa for twenty years catching butterflies, is either feared or revered by many of the native tribes because he is considered "mad." He confides to Allan a sample of a huge orchid, the largest of that variety ever found. As Allan has been hoping to a visit to England he departs with the dried orchid. In England he meets Mr. Somers, an avid orchid collector who is willing to finance an expedition to find and retrieve the plant from which the flower was taken. This is the story of that expedition. Hans is also on hand for the trip to look after his "baas." This story is loaded with both action and humor.
